1/4 ts Extra light olive oil with a dash of sesame oil
1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
1/4 ts Freshly ground salt
2 ts Arrowroot; mixed with 1tsp water
1/4 c Water
8 oz Frozen lima beans
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step #1 Pour the chicken stock into a large skillet & boil until reduced to 1/2 c - about 15 mins.
Step #2 While the stock is reducing, brush a large skillet over medium high heat with the oil & place the chicken breasts skin side down in the skillet to brown, turning them every two mins for a total of ten mins.
Step #3 In cooking the chicken with the skin on, less moisture is lost, resulting in a plumper, juicier chicken breast.
Step #4 remove this from the heat, transfer the chicken to a plate & pull off the skin & discard.
Step #5 Slice the chicken into 2x 1/2 inch strips.
Step #6 If you see a little pink colour, don't worry, the chicken will cook a bit more in the next step.
Step #7 Blot the skillet with a paper towel to absorb the excess fat.
Step #8 Pour the water into the skillet & deglaze over a high heat, scraping all the residues up into the liquid, then pour in the chicken broth.
Step #9 The moment it comes to a boil, add the mushrooms, lima beans & water chestnuts & "stir boil" until just tender - about 5 mins.
Step #10 stir in the the cooked chicken & just heat through.
Step #11 Sprinkle top with the dill, lemon juice, salt, black pepper & cayenne pepper & stir well.
Step #12 remove this from the heat & tip the pan so that the juices collect in a clear space, add the arrowroot slurry, return to the heat & stir until thickened.
Step #13 Serve in bowls & don't miss a single drop.
